Re: Sick building syndrome: why do some doctor's not want to put this for diagn

[Guest guest]

Barb, Thank you so much for the response, and am glad to be part of

the fighting world of Mold(fungal infectious disease, or toxic

irritant affect or just plain inflammation to just some fungi is what

I call MOLD). I think reactions to any kinds of mold irritants----is

fungal,toxic, and just plain inflammation to something or is it

perceived that it is all in our minds with the mold community. Now

you see, we can say " Mold Community " , didn't actually think mold

belonged to a community. Guess it does, but again who are we to try

to fight a commuity (this family of mold). I am not trying to be

sarcastic to anyone, I'm just telling my own words of thoutht here,

but am seriously proud to be among one of many in this world of mold.

I have been introduced to some very very nice people here, all the

replys and information from all that replied to my very first post up

to and including the last one I had done, and with your reply Barb, I

applaud you and everyone here. This is our fighting ground, and

standing in for what we believe is our right, and no one will ever

take that from me....you see i have at least one right that this

govenment or state or this world of beauracy can never take away from

me. I was taught to fight in what I believe of importance to me, and

something dear to my heart with anyone and everyone that not only is

trying to fight this battle, but many battles in the medical fields.

If I am sick due to what ever etiology exists, I have the right to

help in fighting this battle.

And Tigerpaw, it was an honor talking with you today. Behind you and

yours in everyway. You are a very knowledgable person, very

informative, and speak the truth on what your saying. Have faith both

of you---it will be our way someday---and that someday is near........

ALL STAY TOGETHER AND UNITE::::: AGAINST THE FUNGAL COMMUNITY

I totally agree that inflammation can be anywhere and for what ever

reason. I didn't mean that only people with mold get inflammation,

and I believe that anyone can at any age get inflammation on the

brain.....for whatever etiology........

I also agree that inflammation is a killer in a numerous amount of ways.

Darlene,

I think the big problem with inflammation is that people - especially

older people, can often get inflammation in their brains which cuts

off blood flow and actally causes permanent brain damage. At least

this is what I have read. It can cause premature senility.

Inflammation is a killer in many, many other ways as well..
